The article presents an analysis of the existing situation of forests of the Republic of Lithuania. The situation is analysed in ten counties of the country. In the Republic of Lithuania, forests occupied 2,178,958.04 ha, country’s forest coverage – 33.38% in 2017. The highest forest coverage was established in Alytus (48.80%) and Vilnius (43.47%) counties.

The paper presents the problematic of the merge and exchange processes of land under the following programmes of agricultural land consolidation. By consolidating of land, there was activity for better creation of rural space in order to achieve comprehensive improvement of conditions for farming. According to the Act (1982) there were taken activities to shape the structure of the area, the rational design of land distribution, adjust the boundaries of the property to the system of water management facilities, construction of roads and terrain.

The cultivation of unconventional feed crops in the North of Kazakhstan allows to use tillage efficiently for the long period for the production of green and preserved balanced fodder. As a green manure after plowing culture to raise the low fertility of the arable land. The aim is a long cultivation of unconventional fodder cultures for profitable and double-cutting production of green and juiced fodder. The tasks are: 1. to estimate the quality of the first cutting by the yield, food-value, economical efficiency; 2.

Land as a production factor occupies a special position in the economic activities of the urban population. Land resources in big cities are not only territorial basis for placing industrial and production structures, but also a space for urban life in general. However, to assess the effectiveness of urban land use, primarily the ecological and economic potential of the use of the urban land resources should be determined aimed at sustainable development of urban agglomerations (Volodchenkov, 2010).

The article presents the analysis of the change of land users in the Republic of Lithuania during the period between 1919 and 1940. The main factor affecting the relationship of land and its use was the political changes in the country, whereas economic and social aspects had less influence.

Maintaining agriculture has always been a government level issue. The State is implementing a number of programs and projects, as well as increasing the amount of funding to improve the agro industrial complex and the condition of agricultural land. Kazakhstan having great land and resource potential should develop a strategy for the rational land use and protection of land.

Aim of the paper is to explore the possibilities of application of orthophoto maps in determination of land degradation. One of the forms of remote sensing is aerial photography. Orthophoto maps are made from aerial photography with specialized software orthophoto maps were analysed in perspective for several years – from 2005 to 2011.The results are based on the expert. With each year possibilities of application of orthophoto maps are expanding. During the research, data of survey and SWOT analysis of determination of land degradation by orthophoto maps.

One of the cornerstones of sustainable use of land resources is the use of land resources for the identified needs. In every country it is needed to list the land according to the type of land use. Such function of land classification in Latvia is maintained by the classification of purpose of real property use. In a certain period of time needs of the specific purposes for which the land resources are used are changing, so the aim of this study is to research changes of areas of purpose of real property use in municipalities of Latvia.

In Poland land consolidation is carried out mainly in the southern part of the country. In three voivodships, namely Lubelskie Voivodship, Podkarpackie Voivodship and Małopolskie Voivodship, in the years 2003-2014 there were numerous land consolidations, over 20,000 ha in each voivodship. In another three voivodships (Warmińsko-Mazurskie, Zachodniopomorskie and Kujawsko-Pomorskie) there are no land consolidations, even though according to scientists from the Polish, every voivodship requires land consolidations processes. What is the reason for that situation?

Modern market economy certainly requires a rational distribution of land and strict state control over land use and protection. In cadastre works are the basis of the data and are used very often. All of this activity is a complex and expensive process, so you need to effectively use and sharing of new information systems. The purpose of this paper is to analyse and identify the importance of the use of modern information systems in the cadastre works.

Degraded territory is land which has been damaged by either industrial and other activities or no activities at all to the stage where any economic activity is impossible unless special renewable measures are implemented. One of the aims of sustainable environment resolutions adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on 25 September, 2015 was ‘to restore degraded land and to aim to achieve having a world neutral to land degradation’. This is the first worldwide document where universal and comprehensive actions regarding land degradation are provided.

In modern conditions to train highly qualified personnel for the land continues to be relevant, it is important to the improvement of training programs in land use planning activities. The purpose of research: identifying opportunities for further cooperation in the field of higher education, orienting for a "double degree" callable in land use planning activities. A similar approach is being tested in two universities: the Russian Federation and the Republic of Belarus are taken into account long-term achievement of the two sister faculties.
